New Arcata School District trustee

The Arcata School District Board of Trustees announced this week that Rob Seltzner has been appointed to serve until the next election.

Trustee Richard Greene had resigned in early August, and the board agreed to appoint Seltzner at its Monday meeting.

Unless a valid petition calling for a special election, signed by 1.5 percent of the registered voters of the Arcata School District, is filed with the Humboldt County Superintendent of Schools, 901 Myrtle Avenue, Eureka, CA 95501, within a 30-day period, the provisional appointment of Seltzner will remain in effect, according to a press release.
